Chapter 1868: Kill them all without leaving any one behind
"According to reports."
"The Tang Dynasty had already breached the Bayaji tribe's tent ten days ago."
"It is now advancing towards the Pugu Department, and judging from the advancement speed of the Tang Dynasty."
"In ten days at most, they can pull out the big tent of the Pugu tribe and march towards the Xueluo tribe."
Hear what the messenger said.
Zhao Youlin thought for a moment and then focused his attention on the huge panoramic sand table of Xue Yantuo in front of him.
Of course the sand table was sent by Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian has always been generous to his friends.
Now that the Western Turks were allies of the Tang Dynasty, he would naturally not be stingy about giving them something that could help the war.
Of course, except for firearms.
A lesson learned a lesson. As for firearms, he said he would never send them out again.
Today, there are nine major tribes in Xue Yantuo.
From east to west, they are the Beyeji tribe, the Pugu tribe, the Xueluo tribe, the Hutong tribe, the Fuluo tribe, the Tongluo tribe, the Huihe tribe, the Beihe tribe, and the Xueyantuo tribe on the east side of Fangerjin Mountain.
Under these large tribes, there are countless small tribes.
Today, the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty are starting from the east and west sides respectively.
Looking at the geographical location, the Western Turks are actually closer to Xue Yantuo's royal tent.
According to their original strategy, the Western Turks took the lead in attacking the western part of Xueyantuo, forcing Xueyantuo to move eastward, driving them into the dragnet prepared by the Tang Dynasty in advance, and annihilating them in one fell swoop.
This plan actually went very smoothly in the early stages.
Even the barrier of Fanerjin Mountain could not stop the speed of their advance.
But no one expected that a regiment of musketeers would suddenly appear, which would inevitably break Zhao Youlin's original plan.
Zhao Youlin stretched out his hand and pressed it on the table, looking straight at the sand table.
He turned to ask a lieutenant beside him: "Where is Jia Yanzhang now?"
"Beihe!"
The lieutenant spoke.
"Send my order."
Zhao Youlin
A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Order, the Jinshan Department will send all the Heavenly Fire Thunders I have saved to the front line to the Jiayanzhang Department. After receiving the Heavenly Fire Thunders, they will immediately go south and enter Fang'erjin Mountain."
"Tell him, just say what I said, and you will destroy this cavalry team for me at any cost!"
Zhao Youlin punched the table and said: "Leave no one alive, kill them all!"
The deputy general was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and stepped in to take the order: "Yes, I will go and pass the order now!"
After the invasion of Angsa.
Western Turks basically suffer from firearm phobia.
Not to mention asking them to face the firearms directly, I am afraid that many people will be frightened out of their courage if they hear the sound of the firearms.
If this firearms cavalry regiment is allowed to come out and toss for a few more rounds, many people will be scared away if they are not saved.
The only way is to wipe out this cavalry regiment.
The soldiers and horses led by Jia Yanzhang were the soldiers and horses of Zhao Youlin's headquarters, and they were also the elite of the Western Turks.
Most of them are veterans who have followed Zhao Youlin for many years.
In addition, among these elites, there are some relatively special beings.
When Angsa invaded the Western Turks.
Li Chengqian wanted to put the weapons seized from Ansa to use.
In order to reduce the sacrifice of his soldiers, he had no choice but to train some of the Western Turkic soldiers into musketeers and asked them to use the weapons of the Unsa people to fight against the Unsa people.
In the later period, the war was victorious and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty withdrew from the battlefield.
Li Chengqian carefully took away most of the weapons seized from Ansa.
What he told Zhao Youlin at the beginning was that he wanted to study Angsa's weapons so that he could deal with them better in the future.
But how smart is Zhao Youlin?
Could he tell what Li Chengqian was thinking?
But he really couldn't stop this.
After all, the Western Turks at that time were almost destroyed by Angsa.
When Datang came to help them, they already owed Datang Tianda a favor, so they couldn't argue too much with Li Chengqian in this regard.
But just because he doesn't care, doesn't mean he won't hold back.
For example, those captured by Jiayanzhang when he attacked Angsha's logistics supply line were basically kept by Zhao Youlin.
After the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty left, Zhao Youlin immediately gathered together the soldiers who had been trained by Li Chengqian.
Let them serve as instructors and continue to train other soldiers in the use of firearms.
In the end, it took more than two months to form a musketeer team of almost 5,000 people.
Today, this musketeer is within Jiayanzhang's queue.
From the beginning, Zhao Youlin's idea was to make this team an invincible sword to clear the way forward.
But in this situation, he had to withdraw them to compete with the opponent's musketeers.
Others don't know the urine properties of Western Turks, but Zhao Youlin knows it very well.
Even his most loyal men are unlikely to sacrifice their own interests for the sake of their country.
The last Ansa invasion really scared them, so they were forced to unite.
Now they themselves are not at risk of being exterminated.
How could they risk their lives like they faced the Ansa people?
If you ask others to go over and give up if you encounter the Musketeers, wouldn't you lose everything?
…
And it was also when Zhao Youlin was dispatching troops and generals.
Li Chengqian also received news that the Western Turks' advance was blocked.
When he learned that the Western Turks' attack was blocked all because the opponent had a regiment of musketeers, Li Chengqian felt regretful in his heart.
"I raised this evil wolf myself."
"After all, it bit me in the heart."
Li Chengqian punched the table with a look of anger in his eyes.
Inside the military tent, a group of military attachés who had recently arrived looked at each other.
The expressions of Xiao Rui and Duan Zan were the most complicated.
Because it was the two of them who handled the matter of assisting Xue Yantuo in the first place.
Xiao Rui was responsible for delivering weapons to Xue Yantuo, while Duan Zan personally led Yimang to train musketeers.
At that time, Xiao Rui was opposed to this matter, but Li Chengqian insisted on going his own way, so he couldn't say anything.
Now that he saw that this matter had indeed received backlash as he had expected, he couldn't tell how he felt.
certainly.
He would not be stupid enough to stand up and ridicule Li Chengqian at this time.
He pondered for a while.
Xiao Rui slowly said: "Your Highness actually doesn't have to worry about this."
"Although our army has provided firearms assistance to Yimang before, it has always been wary of them."
"The total number of muskets provided to them in succession will not exceed fifteen thousand."
"But before, they had been fighting Bazhuo for so many years, and most of them were on the verge of being scrapped."
"As for the Sky Fire Thunder and the ammunition for their muskets, we have not provided assistance for more than a year, and there is not much left after all."
Li Chengqian nodded thoughtfully.
If you follow what Xiao Rui said, there is really no need to worry about this matter.
Firearms are consumables after all, and even if they can hide them, they won't be able to hide much.
But just when Li Chengqian was about to speak, his heart suddenly trembled.
An ominous premonition began to spread in his mind.
"It shouldn't be."
"Since they don't have many firearms."
Li Chengqian murmured, looking at the sand table, and said softly: "Why did the Musketeers explode so easily..."
